Filey Brigg is a promontory, jutting out 1600 metres into the sea. Below the cliffs, the promontory continues as a blade of rock, barely above the waves. At low tide, this rocky point is a haven for fishermen, naturalists and fossil hunters.

The Spittal is an enigmatic rock structure running out from the Brigg, which may be the remains of an ancient harbour, perhaps serving the Roman signal station which used to be on the cliffs above.

A marker on the cliffs above Filey Brigg marks the southern end of the Cleveland Way long-distance walk.
